The caption read, “Have you seen an elephant playing cricket? Well, he is better than many international players.”

The clip showed an elephant holding a bat with its trunk. It is then pictured swiftly hitting the ball when one of the men throws it at him.

Many netizens were amazed at the elephant’s ability and took to Twitter to show their support:

While some were impressed with the elephant’s cricket skills, it appears as though not everyone found the stunt adorable as some users saw it as a form of animal abuse.

Some of the users even argued that the animal was being tortured to do the stunts as animals aren’t supposed to do what we, humans can do.
